      Haggis, neeps (turnip) and tatties (potatoes). Usually a whisky too.

      In a proper Burns supper the haggis is brought to the table while a piper plays. Then someone will recite Address to a Haggis and cut it open but I doubt that will be happening in the pub.

        It appears like this was never resolved and eventually neglected. If you have any ideas (on how to solve or go about solving this issue) let me know.
        Personally I would have thought that the explicit exception within corporate policy was the resolution but hey ho.

          I am still, after 15 years in IT, amazed at the utter incompetence and blatant dishonesty that is not only tolerated but sometimes actively encouraged in this business.

                  It on Oracle BI and the proposal I'm working on has both oracle and Sql server options. I need to validate whether the oracle quotes are plausible.

                  The figures are overly optimistic but I need the ammo to prove the point. Plus a free sandwich is a free sandwich.

                    It allows the Permies to show off and everyone gets food to encourage attendance. I'm invited by the PM for added sarcasm and awkward questions.

                    Today its on Oracle OBIEE and BI. Now it works fine but it has some lovely flaws in it. My recent favourite is in the HR module where initial start date is stored as a double rather than a date.
